Row Boats

This painting embodies a sense of tranquility, achieved through the predominant use of blues. The soothing blue tones create a calming atmosphere, inviting viewers into a serene visual experience. Adding a dynamic element, the bold stripe of orange along the length of the boats introduces a striking contrast, enhancing the overall visual impact. The composition further captivates the viewer by employing diagonal lines that naturally guide the eye into the depth of the painting, creating a harmonious and engaging journey across the canvas.

I started out with a pencil in hand, drawing portraits and learning to capture emotion through subtle lines and shadows. Over time, I found myself wanting more depth, colour, and freedom and that led me to oil painting.

These days, I love working with oil because of how it lets me explore contrast, light, and mood in a way pencil never could. My subjects are always changing. I’m drawn to anything with character, whether it’s a person, an old car, an animal, or even a building.

For me, painting is about looking more closely and finding something interesting in the everyday and bringing it to life with colour and light.
